August 2015 Roundup



What We Did:




01. Pool Party at Mae-Mae and Papa’s for the Bond’s visit  03. My first day back in school to finish my Bachelor’s  08. Checked out a pre-school in Rocklin that was having a family day and then off to wine tasting for Jonathan and I  22. Bicycle Shopping then off to Mae-Mae and Papa’s again for some swimming. This time David actually swam back and forth between us!  23. Yolo County Fair  30. Roller Derby!



Watched:

Ray Donovan on Cable. We initially watched a few episodes of the first season but lost track with all the other great shows on at the time. This summer we have caught back up and love it!

Read:

The Harlow Hoyden by Lynn Messina – First of all, love the name!  Second of all, I love classic fiction. Jane Austen is my favorite author and I have read all of her books several times over. I have always been disappointed that she did not write more. So Messina uses that genre and writes romances of that time period with a little bit more of a modern day spin. Like female characters who are fearless and smart. I*t was a cute book and a quick read. I think I will read more of her work when I am the mood for some Victorian romance! 

Listened To:

I bought a new album this month after hearing one of the songs on the radio and have really loved it. It’s a self-titled album by Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats. A little bluesy. A little southern.  But a lot of fun!

The Stories:


At the grocery store, I picked up chocolate waffles and handed the box to David. D with a giant smile says: “Chocolate!!!!” then he puts the box to his cheek and hugs it and continues “I love you, chocolate.”

·        Driving to daycare in the morning, slowing down for a yellow light, I hear from the backseat: “Mommy, it’s orange, you supposed to go real fast!”

·        At the dollar store getting David a butterfly net, the clerk says: “Oh cool, a net. What are you going to catch with it?” David looks him straight in the eye and tells him “Elephants!”

·        Jonathan was chasing D around the house trying to get his balloon. When I joined in, David said “No Mommy, you’re the good one!” I will probably never live that one down!

·        Conversation at the dinner table:

D: If I rock in the chair, I fall down, I get a big owie and I cry and I have to go to ossipillo.
J: The hospital?
D. Yeah, hospillow… osspillow….hos…The doctor.
